That was the reason I included Woldike. With all this HMO and HIP approach to Haydn, Woldike's conducting gave these symphonies real meat on the bone. Yes, there is a Nielsen connection. But it is ambiguous. For a conductor of Woldike's standing beyond his homeland, he had a unique opportunity to showcase Nielsen and didn't. He did the best Fynsk Forar way back in the 1950s released on Mercury. It is coupled with the loveliest rendition of Nielsen's songs other than Aksel Schoitz's. That he only did this one thing for Nielsen is shameful. But he did it beautifully. Andrew Carlan "Standing Up For Nielsen"
